The Hills Overlooking The Old Country Town

The hills overlooking the old country town
From months of warm weather looking dry bare and brown
And the drought ravaged paddocks are thirsting for rain
And not a drop of water in the roadside drain
And for their poor financial year the local farmers complain
The good times they fear they may not see again
The best of their breeding stock cattle and sheep
They took to the market and had to sell cheap
Their poor quality stock they could not give away
For Climate Change for them the price huge to pay
The sun o'er the western hill is setting red
A sign of more dry and warm weather ahead
And on the main street few cars pass up and down
But life does go on in the quiet country town.
